Site Name: Southrepps Common SSSI Parish: Southrepps Grid reference: TG 260350 Area: 5.6ha District: North Norfolk Survey date: 18.06.18 & 13.7.18
Registered common number: CL 391
Habitat description:
Species-rich central area of fen and swamp informed by Foxes Beck that flows west to east across the site. The rest of the site consists of rougher fen and grassland, scrub, wet and dry woodland, and a stretch of amenity grassland.
The fen to the west is mainly reed-free with marsh helleborine (Epipactis palustris), common cotton grass (Eriophorum angustifolium), common spotted orchid (Dactylorhiza fuchsia), cuckoo flower (Cardamine pratensis), common valerian (Valeriana officinalis), marsh valerian (Valeriana dioica),devil's-bit scabious (Succisa pratensis), early marsh-orchid ( Dactylorhiza incarnate), few-flowered spike-rush (Eleocharis quinqueflora), fragrant orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea), glaucous sedge (Carex flacca), quaking grass (Briza media), southern marsh- orchid (Dactylorhiza praetermissa), eyebright (Euphrasia sp), angelica (Angelica sylvestris), yellow rattle (Rhinanthus minor), grass of parnassus (Parnassia palustris), bog bean (Menyanthes trifoliate) and alder( Alnus glutinosa) saplings.
The swamp to the east has common reed (Phragmites australis), common nettle (Urtica dioica) and bramble (Rubus fruticosus agg.).
This central area is surrounded by a belt of mixed woodland and scrub including willow (Salix sp.), oak (Quercus robur), holly (Ilex aquifolium) and hawthorn (Crategus monogyna). Alder carr woodland follows the beck.
Beyond Foxes Beck to the north is less species diverse fen, again with areas of scrub to the east and west. The fen here has sedge sp., soft rush (Juncus effusus), meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), greater birds-foot trefoil (Lotus pedunculatus), common knapweed (Centaurea nigra), early marsh orchid, common spotted orchid, hemp agrimony, alder saplings and bog bean. Also marsh thistle (Cirsium palustre), early marsh orchid, common spotted orchid, marsh helleborine and grass of Parnassus. Here alder saplings are invasive. This area grades into reed with creeping thistle (Cirsium repens), spear thistle (Cirsium vulgare), Michaelmas daisy (Aster x salignus) and golden rod (Solidago canadensis), becoming coarser as it heads towards houses in the north.
The far north west area of the common has a drainage ditch, an area of closely mown grass and planted trees including silver birch (Betula pendula), red horse chestnut (Aesculus carnea) and Lawson cyprus (Chamaecyparis lawoniana). To the south of this is an area of rough grassland with broom (Cytisus scoparius), creeping thistle, common nettle and garden escapees.
Limited Himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) occurs by the beck and towards the houses by the north.

Adjacent habitats/potential buffer zones & linkage to other sites:
County Wildlife Site occurs immediately to the west (School Common). There are another three commons in this area to the east (Bradfield Road Common and Mill Common) and north (Pit Common). Housing occurs to the north, west and south. There is agricultural land beyond the eastern boundary.
Is the site in positive conservation management? Yes.
Management by local volunteer group follows management plan by Natural England. Central species-rich fen is cut annually. Rougher fen to north is cut every two years.
